Waterways Ireland has issued a warning to boat owners and members of the public as Storm Callum approaches.

They are urging people to be aware of the dangers associated with harbours, jetties and moorings during stormy weather.

Storm Ali caused some destruction at Lough Corrib last month

Waterways Ireland has warned about the dangers associated with walking on floating pontoons and mooring vessels in strong winds and said "heavy rainfall can result in slippery conditions along waterways".

Anyone visiting a boat during the storm is advised to wear full personal protective equipment.

Met Éireann says the unsettled weather would continue early into next week.

Last month, strong winds associated with Storm Ali caused damage and disruption all over the country.
